X100 Wedding

Maybe I'm hard to please but I find some of the black and white conversions pretty bland looking ... and the colour shots really don't have much oomph either.

Seems more the interpretation of the photog, more than the capabilities of the camera itself. I'm not that impressed myself by those images... Not my style...

Need to see more to buy anything...

True ... not necessarily a reflection on the camera I agree.
 
The high key B+W images are OK but the outdoor B+W shots from the ceremony don't look too clever.
I've been looking at a lot of B+W Wedding images recently and frankly most aren't suited to B+W. The photographer just seems to be using B+W for the sake of it. Good B+W requires the right lighting and contrast and background or it looks crap. Very often the images would have been much better in colour.
But considering the 6400 ISO used indoors I think the reception images aren't too bad.
 
the pics are pretty ordinary but I don't think it has much to do with the camera. Except in a few shots where clearly a slightly longer focal length lens would have produced more pleasing spacial relationships with less distortion.
 
He shot a few camera generated JPGs out of an unfamiliar camera and shared the results. Pretty good under those conditions. I'm not a huge fan of digital B&W, but I'll cut him some slack. Anyway, my interest was more in the camera rather than in the photographer. My mistake, commenting on the talents of the photographer. I yield to all of you. Many photographers are better than myself, so I'm easily impressed.

OK.. I corrected my original post.

For a little camera that could....... not bad, I am quite impressed with the results onsome of the hi ISO. Would I buy? I don't see it in the near future thru my crystal ball but that will not stop recommending it to some of my mates.
 
Hey, that guy shot my wedding! (Seriously!)

Wilko's great, multi-award winning Brisbane photographer and all. I'm sure once he can get to converting the RAW files in Lightroom or ACR, whichever he's using at the moment, we'll see a bit more snap.

I imagine these are from camera .jpgs while he works through all the quirks of the little camera, much like we all are...but they're not bad, by any stretch! The colour at 6400ISO will be his own toning, not in-camera - possibly using something like Alien Skin Exposure 3, which I sent him an email about a few months back...

Nothing in those photos to dissuade me from buying the X100 should I be interested in one. Yea, 6400 does seem a little so so but all in all, considering they were likely in camera JPEG files not conversions from RAW, not too shabby at all.

Man, are we that spoiled?

Exactly.

Just to shoot at ISO 6400...if you need to...and not have it look like total crap is amazing in itself.

As far as the colors go. This is digital. The colors can be whatever you want them to be.

What's more important is that the camera worked for him in the way he wanted it to.
